[CentOS] Firefox - remote xul manager gone after Centos update
Dear All,
I am faced with this problem:
Firefox version is 17.0.6 before and after the update
I ran an update today;
bash-4.1# yum history
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
ID | Login user | Date and time | Action(s) |
Altered

I'm not sure which packet could have caused this, but before the update,
I could go to
Extra-webdeveloper-remote xul manager
in Firefox and add domains
Now remote xul manager is gone in webdeveloper.
Can anyone offer any advise on this problem?
greetings, J.
